MEMO · CONFIDENTIALSAMPLE
Investor's-eye review Fictional company · Series A deck · 22 slides
TOP 3 FIXES, RANKED BY INVESTOR IMPACT
  1. Lead with traction. Revenue growth sits on slide 9. Move it to slide 2.

  2. Cut the market slide. Top-down market size reads as a guess. Show a bottom-up build.

  3. Fix the ask. Use of funds does not match the 18-month plan in the model.
